You will get 6.2.0 in a week or so also. I do not have blue cruise and I got both.

I took my F150 to the dealer Friday, they did a battery test, and it passed. Then the dealer reset the BMS and now all is functioning. The BMS reset fixed two quirks: seat would not auto set using my key and memory; my wife's key sometimes not being recognized to unlock the doors.

Now to see if it will catch up on updates since my last two which were May 31st for 4.2.4 and Aug. 30 for 23-PU0724-DOM-RS.

Got 6.1.0 and a couple days later 6.2.0.

Does anyone know what these updates have done. I have BC so the first has something to do with that I think, not sure what the details are though as Fordpass is not much help with the details. The second shows up in the truck but not on Fordpass , no idea what that is for though???

Your truck has not recorded an OTA in over two years. Your Sync version 21136 is also over two years old. The software your truck has is past the hump where 2021 trucks are known to get stuck in OTA limbo, but for some reason, you aren't getting updates even though your software is past the software known to break the OTA process. I do not know why your truck isn't getting updates, but not getting updates in over two years is not normal. I would tell your dealer that your truck has not gotten updates on over two years and just hope for the best. I say that because there is no way to diagnose that your truck has a problem at the dealership level. My opinion is that your truck needs have the APIM, GWM and TCU manually updated to trigger updates to start coming in again. Good luck convincing the dealer to do that for you since Ford does not pay them to update modules. Not to mention, due to lack of training from Ford, they are )for the most part) clueless about these kinds of issues in particular.

These updates are to prep the truck for future updates. You will not see anything new with 6.1 or 6.2.

6.1 (which I just received) seems to have modified car play mainly, though it is said to also update blue cruise maps and "expiration date"

Hey I got 6.1.0 also, and it does feel like car play is bit better (as maybe a bit more reliable?)
What improvements do you see?
